Nature of and in a great city!

From our walks around Detroit, this is our blog of animals, insects, trees, plants and other things from nature that we see. Most of the photos are ones that S.or I have taken in our neighborhood or during our travels in the city.

New Spot to Watch Birds in Detroit

The Detroit Audubon Society, the Detroit RiverFront Conservancy, the Detroit Recreation Department and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced plans to create a bird watching space in Gabriel Richard Park, along the Detroit RiverWalk. It is planned to open in 2015. Look forward to seeing it. Here is the location (courtesy of Google Maps).

UPDATE: August 1, 2015.

The birding spot has opened! The Free Press reports that the spot "features four wildlife spotting scopes and an interpretive panel identifying common birds that can be seen in the area."
